Chapter 1274 'Children' part 3

The Sea of Life expanded further and the only thing that could be seen over the horizon was its darkness.

Kisuke and Benihime also noticed that it was getting harder to absorb more Reiryoku and concluded that Ichibei had found them out.

"Benihime, let's get as much as we can and store it in the Sea of Life."

Benihime understood what he was intending to do and opened the channel they have to Ichibei to the utmost, [On it.]

Kisuke could immediately feel a massive amount of Reiryoku going through him as soon as Benihime answered. Normally, he would have died from this, not just from the recoil that his body wasn't designed to take, but also from the Reiryoku itself not being his, and needing purification before use.

In this instance, however, he didn't need to purify anything, instead, anything that goes through him was automatically 'tainted', hence becoming compatible with him, 'That settles it... It really was a miracle that we were able to defeat Chaos at that time. Well, it only became possible because he thought no one would be able to touch him.'

Kisuke had to be careful too, however, since he would have the same weakness as Chaos, which is anything 'tainted' could also be used against him. Which is why he was not extending the Sea of Life's 'Chaotic' attribute beyond itself. If he didn't have this weakness, he would have already sent this 'Chaotic' attribute to Ichibei to control and destroy him from within., 'At least not directly. I have to make it look as natural as possible.'

Kisuke's next step is to wait. There are only three other individuals who could appear and he could already guess why they were taking their time, "I hope 'Sona'-chan comes out soon."

[Hmmm?] Benihime suddenly let out a bewildered voice.

"What's wrong?"

[...Nothing is changing. He's not closing it further. In fact, it feels like he's allowing it?]

A large grin appeared on Kisuke's face, "Aha~!"

[What's going on?], asked Benihime while increasing the rate of absorption.

"If I guessed it correctly, he's probably thinking that he can take it all back." Kisuke then went to talk to Tiamat, "Tiamat, I would like to confirm what I just got into my head. Am I correct to assume that the moment that the Sea of Life is destroyed, I'll be released from my 'shackles'."

But Tiamat didn't immediately give an answer and Kisuke could feel her hesitation on it, "I'd like to know what I'm working on here."

Tiamat sighed and finally replied, [Yes, but I hope you don't let it come to that point.]

"So what's the risk?"

[More than risk, it's a detriment. You might have been fine if it's me from the time before I met Chaos. I'm telling you this now, but there's a reason why the Dungeon was giving birth to monsters and it's not because my sister wanted to shape them that way. In my case, it would be arguably worse since the moment I'm released from the 'shackles' of life, I'll turn into a mindless being, only craving for destruction.]

"Almost, huh? I can work with that."

[...I'm warning you. You might not be able to return.]

Kisuke then proceeded to ignore Tiamat's words and said, "We only get one chance." He took a deep breath and using the massive power that was now available to him, he forcefully made a path to the three worlds to let everyone in it hear his voice, "Please proceed with the disconnection and migration... As soon as possible."

After those few words, he retracted his power, "Do you think they got that?"

[With the amount of power you invested in that? I'd be more surprised if no one lost consciousness.]

On the frontlines, Kisuke's 'children' were starting to get overwhelmed. While they are strong, they're not as strong as their original counterparts. Nevertheless, when Medusa's eyes started losing their effectiveness due to the sheer number of opponents, another figure appeared from the Sea of Life and instantly froze the incoming enemies. 'Serafall', the greatest 'child' Kisuke could have for crowd control.

"To think that the last two are the two individuals I needed the most..."

[The Sea of Life is just answering your wishes. Because of what you want them to do, it'll take more time for the sea to give birth to them.]

"Well, that makes sense."

Mayuri was having all the members of his Division distribute the pills that will give a Soul their physical body.

Of course, he didn't just give the pills to the nobles and their servants, but also to the special interest groups including the former members of the Xcution Fullbringer group, Hollows, and obscure clans that had already retreated from Seireitei due to various reasons like the Wolfman Clan where Sajin Komamura originated.

"Good. We can have everyone have their bodies in three more days." Mayuri nodded in satisfaction while looking at the reports.

However, it was this at this moment that he heard a detestable voice, [Please proceed with the disconnection and migration... As soon as possible.] A nerve immediately popped on his forehead as he muttered, "You can only cause more problems when you're alive, huh?"

"Captain..." Akon called out to him after hearing Kisuke's voice too, "What should we do?"

Mayuri sighed and walked towards his personal console while giving out commands, "Ask the entirety of the Gotei 13 to help out with the distribution."

"But various problems will come up with that and we might not be able to handle it."

"That's a lot better compared to being late. Couldn't you guess the implication behind his words?"

"Implication?"

Mayuri turned to Akon and with an still obviously pissed expression, he answered, "Things are about to get much worse."

About 30 minutes went by and the number of insects pouring out from within Kisuke's sights only kept increasing. He couldn't tell the exact number, but he's guessing that there are around trillions of them clumped together now, "Forget about defending, just their corpses is enough to destroy the three worlds." Kisuke commented while thinking that he seriously underestimated their numbers.

But despite all of this, he's not that worried about their presence because the 'children' that he had been waiting for have already emerged, 'Sona' and 'Hestia'.

Upon their emergence, Kisuke immediately noticed that something was different about them and that was soon proven when 'Sona' raised her right arm and the entire Sea of Life started to rise. A tsunami that was about to engulf everything has come to life.
